| 7.4.1 | Novell IPX configuration tasks
Configuring the router for IPX routing involves both global and interface tasks. Global IPX configuration tasks include the following: Start the IPX routing process. Enable load sharing if appropriate for your network. Interface IPX configuration tasks include the following: Assign unique network numbers to each interface. Multiple network numbers can be assigned to an interface, allowing support of different encapsulation types. Set the optional IPX encapsulation type if it is different from the default. These IPX configuration tasks are described in more detail in the following sections. The ipx routing command enables Novell IPX routing. If no node address is specified, the Cisco router uses the MAC address of the interface. If a Cisco router has only serial interfaces, an address must be specified. In addition, the ipx maximum-paths command enables load sharing. As previously stated, this is the maximum number of parallel paths to the destination; the default is 1 and the maximum is 512.
